You know, I've never quite understood why logged-out editing is associated with "anonymity". You're far more anonymous logged in as a pseudonym than you are as a logged-out IP address.
Not always; it's only true when each IP = one editor, in which case it is indeed less anonymous than pseudonyms.
Pseudonymous editing can be much less anonymous - consider if you are editing from behind AOL's dynamic IPs, or from one of the IP addresses that proxy entire countries. That is, if you're a Qatari editor, editing anonymously means your edits could belong to any subset of ~1.5 million people; if you edit pseudonymously...

You know, that exact same argument was made about semiprotection.
Do you know what the result was? A small fall in full protection - and a massive expansion in semiprotection (and thus protection in general).
But full protection is an extreme measure, and semi-protection is far less extreme, which mostly impacts anonymity.
A tiny minority of WP pages are even semi-protected.
Flagged revisions falls somewhere between semi- and full-, and will likely be used accordingly.

Used 'accordingly', sensibly - like de did by flagging every article?
